BICEP2 all over again? Researchers place Higgs boson discovery in doubt - Nov. 21, 2014 Excerpt: This recent paper is from a team of researchers from Denmark, Belgium and the United Kingdom led by Dr. Mads Toudal Frandsen. Their study entitled, Technicolor Higgs boson in the light of LHC data discusses how their supported theory predicts Technicolor quarks through a range of energies detectable at LHC and that one in particular is within the uncertainty level of the data point declared to be the Higgs Boson. There are variants of Technicolor Theory (TC) and the research paper compares in detail the field theory behind the Standard Model Higgs and the TC Higgs (their version of the Higgs boson). Their conclusion is that a TC Higgs is predicted by Technicolor Theory that is consistent with expected physical properties, is low mass and has an energy level – 125 GeV – indistinguishable from the resonance now considered to be the Standard Model Higgs. Theirs is a composite particle and it does not impart mass upon everything.,,, In other words, the Higgs Boson might not be the god particle but rather a Technicolor Quark particle comprised of smaller more fundamental particles and another force binding them. phys.org/news/2014-11-bicep2-higgs-boson-discovery.html
